Last Madrid Fusion, a bevy of Michelin star chefs dropped by the Philippines to welcome the unveiling of this historical event. One of those chefs was Hong Kong based chef Alvin Leung, known for his characteristic cuisine: X-treme Chinese.
In a recent trip to Hong Kong, Style Bible paid a visit to Leung’s 3 Michelin Star restaurant Bo Innovation, and we weren’t let down. Turns out - X-treme Chinese is delicious! And gorgeous, too.
